- Start by standing upright with a bench or a ball close behind you.
- Place one leg back onto the bench or ball.
- Lower yourself, ensuring that your knee extends no further forward than your toes.
- When using the ball, it should roll backwards slightly as you lower yourself, but you should try to remain balanced throughout.

Do You Want to Make Your Butt Bigger?
about 5 months ago - Comments Off
Butts have definitely got bigger over recent years, but I would have to say that they have increased in size more by the owners overeating than actually increasing the size of the muscle beneath the layer subcutaneous fat. So, I’m guessing that you want to know a way to make your butt bigger? Am I right? Well, in order to make your butt bigger, but not make it fatter, you need to increase the size of your glutues maximus muscles which are in your buttocks, and the way to do this is by targeting them with some good exercises. Certain exercises can target these muscles, but whatever you do, and please take this as a genuine warning – always always avoid any article or website that tells you to do a few buttock tensing exercises to get a bigger butt. This really won’t work – and you’d have to do a few million buttock tenses to even vaguely tone the muscle, let alone increase its size. There are certain things that you can do to increase your gluteus maximus muscles, and tensing your buttocks is definitely not one of them! In order to increase any muscle at all, you need to put it under a certain amount of stress. And you can do this by adding resistance in the form of weights, to your exercise routine. Oh, and yes, you do need to have an exercise routine if you want to increase the size of those glutes. When you exercise and put your muscles under stress, the muscles are damaged and the muscle fibres are broken down as a result of this. The body then…
Glute Exercises to Get a Bigger Bum
about 5 months ago - Comments Off
There are many many people, men and women alike, who want to get a bigger bum. Not only do they want to make it bigger though, they also want to make sure it is toned rather than just fat. Well, that’s fair enough! To get a bigger bum, you will need to do several things, and stick with them for a minimum of 4 – 6 weeks anyway. Once you have got a bigger bum mind, if you really want to keep it that way, you will most likely need to continue with those exercises. I have seen an awful lot of rubbish on the internet recently, much of it claiming to give the best advice about how to get a bigger bum, but i believe they are telling you about some of the most ineffective glute exercises there are! Be careful. If you read about exercises that don’t involve any weights at all, then you are unlikely to get a bigger bum let alone improve the tone and definition of your bum either. The fact of the matter is, that in order to increase the size of the gluteus maximus muscle (which i have to say is pretty big to start with and it is one of the biggest muscles in the human body), you need to be putting that muscle under some serious stress. And by stress I mean exercise involving resistance in the form of weights. When you exercise a muscle with weights, ie make it work a lot harder than it normally would without those weights, you are causing it damage. This damage results in its fibres being broken down. The…

However, you still need to eat and feel full or otherwise you’ll hit the chocs or have the ‘munchies’ and end up eating all of the wrong things. Try eating plenty of protein at every meal – not only does this help to…

Glutes Exercises : Deadlifts Exercise
about 1 year ago - No comments
Deadlifts Exercise Many people believe that the deadlifts exercise is either for men or that is simply a lower back exercise. Not so in either case – it is most definitely for women too and it is most definitely one of the best glutes exercises. Deadlifts can be great for strengthening your back, but they can also be fantastic for your gluteal muscles and hamstrings if you perform the exercise properly. When performing the deadlifts exercise to increase the size of your gluteal muscles, you should typically lean over forwards from the hips, whilst the legs remain straight or very slightly bent at the knees, rather than in a squatting position. This position can put rather too much pressure on the back, and it is critical to keep the back flat thoughout this exercise to prevent injury or pain. As you raise your torso back up to the starting position, it is then important to tighten the gluteal muscles and hamstrings. To get a real hit on your gluteal muscles, you can lift your toes up and rest them on a weight plate. How to do the Deadlifts Exercise To maintain perfect form it is advisable to adhere to the following steps: Stand with feet shoulder width apart. Bend forward and grasp the barbell with two hands, slightly more than shoulder width apart. I suggest an overhand grip, because that is my preference, but you could use one overhand and one underhand grip. Raise the bar until it stops at the middle of your thigh, squeezing your glutes and hamstrings throughout the movement. Maintain a straight back at all times, bend forwards at the hips and…
